Q: In need of a pro bono attorney or lawer for low income. My mom's trying to take my daughter from me.
First off, I apologize for the mispelling of lawyer above. My mom's attorney is making accusations that are not true. He is using my past against me. I completed my Dcfs case on 2010 and he is trying to get judge to give my mom custody because of that. He's interrogating me so bad that I feel unsafe. I can't see my daughter anymore and he told the court I have been absent from her life. I was always there until my mom was granted temporary custody and my visits was cut. I need someone who will guide me through this or represent me in good faith. I don't have much to offer and on a strict income but can make payments. Please help me being my daughter home.
A: Each Judicial District (Salt Lake is 3rd District) has its own pro bono resources. Check the Utah Star Bar's website at utahbar.org. The other program you may want to look into is Modest Means (information also on bar's website), which matches low income clients with attorneys willing to take your case for a reduced fee.
